What customers say
This quiet spot has great views and a friendly vibe. Folks loved the owners, cosy glamping (bell tents, barrel cabins!), and spotless facilities. Close to the Eden Project. A few grumbles: the track, busy times meaning fewer loos, and occasional event noise. Wood for stoves is there, but sometimes hard to find.

Great location and views, but the facilities need improving.
Bell tent
Liked The bell tent was better than I expected. It was nicely furnished with a proper bed, bedside tables, a table at the end of the bed, a rug and a log burner (although it was far too warm for us to use it), so it felt much more comfortable than normal camping.
The campsite has lovely views out over St Austell and towards the sea, and it's in a really good location for exploring mid-Cornwall. We found it to be fairly quiet overall, and the lady cleaning the facilities was really friendly.
Disliked The biggest downside was the facilities. There were only two combined shower and toilet rooms serving the bell tents, emperor tents, campervans and camping pitches. Because the showers and toilets are combined, if someone's having a shower and someone else needs the loo, it can create queues. From our bell tent it was quite a walk to the toilets, showers and washing-up area, and some of the accommodation was even further away.
Although the campsite is generally peaceful, it's next to an A-road so you do hear motorbikes at times, particularly in the evenings. You can also hear concerts from the Eden Project quite clearly. We actually thought that was quite fun, but if you're looking for complete peace and quiet it's worth bearing in mind.
The arrival information could also be clearer. The website says to ring when you arrive, so because we thought we might be late I called in advance. I was then told it was self check-in anyway, so we could simply have arrived whenever we wanted. It wasn't a big issue, but the information could be more consistent.
I also phoned beforehand to ask about cooking on the fire pit and was told logs were available, so I bought briquettes on the way. When we arrived, we found the logs were £7.50 a bag. If I'd known that beforehand, I'd have bought logs from the shop as well. The bags also contained some oversized and partly burnt logs, so they didn't feel like great value.
The beds could also be sturdier. They creaked a lot and one corner of the slatted base dropped through when weight was put on the edge. It was easy enough to fix, but they could definitely do with being a bit more solid. Better lighting in the bell tents would also be a nice improvement.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A beautiful view from the top of the hill of the Cornish countryside as well as the sea. We were visiting the Eden Project to watch some live music and Lawrence offered directions, including a massive short cut, meaning it was only a 30 minute walk away. We will definitely will be staying again.

Barrel 1 bedroom camping pod
Liked Such a beautiful place with a beautiful view. The campsite is a small campsite situated on top of the hill overlooking carlyon bay. It's quiet, peaceful and just what is needed if you want to get away from it all. We stayed in one of the cabins - it was clean, comfortable and exactly what we were hoping for. Every pitch is provided with a picnic bench, fire pit and space to relax by the accommodation. Showers and toilets were clean. The site is very well managed and the owners were very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back.
Disliked The only thing that we disliked was having to come home! O could quite happily have stayed there a little while longer!

Liked Lovely location and perfect for Eden project if you like a little walk through the woods (we did 😁)
Disliked A shame the gravel track ends just before the steep slippery climb up the field edge to camping pitches, nearly didn’t make it on wet grass.

Liked Great setting, fantastic view, facilities were good. You just need to have confidence in the signs, you are going the correct way. The track is a little bumpy, but well worth it.
